Vigilance is essential against the encroachment of a police state. History urges society to resist unchecked power and remain alert to the risks of allowing authority to expand without oversight.

Canadian cops are quietly deploying phone-hacking spyware to conduct investigations, and they may be buying it from a U.S-Israeli firm accused of spying on journalists and activists.

These details are revealed in a new investigation conducted by The Citizen Lab, a group of digital sleuths and civil liberties advocates at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. Citizen Lab provided an advanced copy to the Star.
